Good morning you champion. Here is something for you to chew on.

=CALLED TO CAUSE TROUBLE!=

Acts 17: 6 (NKJV)
But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the
rulers of the city, crying out, "These who have turned the world upside down
have come here too.

What a great reputation! I personally believe that this is the reputation
of the Spirit-filled, God- lover. We are not called to fit in to everything
that society and life expects us to or deems normal, but rather we are
called of God to be people who turn the world upside down. Poor, old Jason
got into mega trouble for housing some "followers of Jesus". Would we get
someone into trouble if we went to stay with them this week? Would Christ
in us turn something upside down when we "passed through"? What a great
challenge.

Whatever realm of life that God has called you to function in, make sure
that when you look in the mirror before leaving your house, you see someone
called of God to turn things upside down.

How? Simple make the decision that where ever you find yourself you are
going to:

1. Stand up for Jesus and His kingdom and don't shrink back.
2. Live for the truth of God's Word. Let it be what determines your
absolutes not the so called wisdom which comes from an ever-changing and
confused society.
3. Remember you are only on this planet once. Live in such a way that your
life has a unique flavor. Stand out. Have definition and don't settle for
bland!

What we believe (God's truth) should make us stick out in the crowd. It
should be turning wrong thinking and behavior upside down, and let's face
it, it is destined to cause trouble.

Acts 17: 6 (NIV)
These men who have caused trouble all over the world have now come here,

The Gospel is not a sedative meant to quiet you down, but rather it is a
divine stimulant meant to fire you up. It's an empowering license to live
passionately for a cause that changes people's lives and lasts for eternity.
Come on, let's get the Church its world-changing reputation back. Realize
that Jesus, the revolutionary, lives in you and have a world-shaking day.
How? Let Him out!
